• Continuity: When they board the ship, Finnigan's boat is far below the cargo door; then, when he jumps from the boat in to help Trilian it is at the almost same level - which is plausible since the ship is sinking. However, when they jump on the Ski-Doo to escape, it is again far below the door again.

• Continuity: When the creature first strikes the ship, we see it attack from under the hull and towards the moving engine propellers. At this point in the film the engines, communication and emergency systems had been disabled by sabotage, hence the propellers should have been idle and not in full motion.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: At about 7 minutes into the film during Canton's speech a crew member can be seen standing on the railing to his left.
  
  
• Continuity: When Trillian is thrown into the brig, she takes out Canton's wallet that she had pickpocketed. However, all the time they had been talking in the vault, she had been held well away from him, with both hands held behind her back.
